As the title says, I'm running Openbox sessions in Karmic with no desktop environment (meaning I'm NOT running a Gnome/Openbox session)...
1) Sound is muted after reboot. I have to go into Alsamixer and unmute the Master, Headphone and Front channels. If I do (as root) alsactl store and put alsactl restore in my autostart.sh file, sound will persist if I log out and back in but gets muted again after rebooting. ???
2) I cannot get the Num Lock key to persist after logout or reboot (I've tried the Ubuntu fixes). If I reboot it stays on through the Grub2 menu but goes off during usplash. ???
-edit- Fixed with numlockx, via here...

3) Logging in to the Openbox session takes a good 15 seconds longer than logging into Gnome. There is a bug reported for this but the workaround posted does not WFM...
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openbox/+bug/502481
???
-edit- Oh yeah, 4) I have no clue how to get my keyboard multimedia keys (volume up/down/mute) working in Openbox, they work fine in Gnome.
-edit- Strike 4), the solution is here...

I still have to unmute volume via alsamixer or gnome-volume-control-applet before the keys will work though.
Anyone else running Openbox alone in Karmic having these issues, or better yet, have any solutions?
Thanks. I'm loving Openbox.
-edit- 2 and 4 are done thanks to the crunchbang forums, but I've tried all sorts of configuration /startup entries/permissions for alsactl store/alsactl restore and it WILL NOT save those settings for openbox after a reboot.
-edit- 3 down, 1 to go, solution to 3) is here...

I don't know why alsactl store won't persist, I've tried adding 'alsactl restore' (no quotes) to /etc/rc.local and 'alsactl restore &' to autostart.sh, no joy.
